As I've mentioned before I buy most stuff online & mainly charge it out at Homebase prices - 10%.
Just done an update of the 25 items on my regularly used list;
------------------------------------------------------------------- Straight compression fitting 15mm Elbow compression fitting 15mm Tee compression fitting 15mm

Cost at Homebase = £138:20. Cost from Toolstation/TLC/Timber Merchant = £51:03.
Quite a difference! Makes you wonder what margins these people operate on.
